RAAK is Wessel Janse van Rensburg

I am a creative technologist: I work out what new technology means, and then I build with it.

I trained in law and have worked at South Africa’s Truth Commission, as a journalist, as a product manager at a tech platform, as a strategy adviser to a bank, and as a founder of two start-ups.

That mix is the job now: reading the code, the balance sheet and the regulation together, and saying plainly what they add up to. I work from The Hague and London.
